This table lists terms that are frequently used to describe how various blocks operate on sample based and framebased signals. If the interpret vector parameters as 1d option is off, the block outputs a signal of the same dimensions and dimensionality as the parameters.
You also use these parameters to specify the simulation start and stop times. Therefore, if you sample the signal with a rate or phase that is different from the signals own rate and phase, you will still measure meaningful values. The vector y contains the corresponding step response values. The block code runs at two different rates to handle data transfer.

The step time is simply the required duration of the impulse, in this example a value of 0. For this reason, a time based pulse generator block has a variable sample time.
Specify the interval at which simulink updates the clock icon as a positive integer. If the sample time of a block is set to 0, 1, the block becomes fixedinminor step. If you choose the default setting of auto, and if the model has discrete sample times, then simulink sets the step size to the fundamental sample time of the model. In the model explorer window, under model properties, code can be inserted into the initfcn and the stopfcn.
During simulation, the software linearizes the portion of the model between specified linearization inputs and outputs, and plots the step. In a minor time step, the chart computes outputs based on the state of the chart during the last major time step. In general it is a good practise to be aware of the simulation time, simulation steps and solver you are using in simulink simulations, as sometimes the simulation can go wrong just because of the solver, or because of the simulation step size. Now, lets subject this system to a unit step input which occurs at t 1 second. The block output until the simulation time reaches the step time parameter. Specified specifies that simulink software check to ensure that this model operates at a specified set of prioritized periodic sample times.
